Susanne Beacon

Notes:

Confusingly and quite certainly wrongly, Ronald A. Hill (citation details below) gives John Bacon and Abiel Curtiss a daughter Susanna born 2 Oct 1692, but the Susanna Bacon/Beacon he has marrying Ephraim Allen on 28 Nov 1716 is one that was born 3 Jan 1673 as a daughter of John Bacon/Beacon and Suzanna Draper, and thus a brother, not a daughter, of the John Beacon/Bacon who married Abiel Curtiss. But Northborough vital records clearly say that Susanna Allen, wife of Ephraim, died 25 Jan 1762 in her 64th year. In other words, Ephraim's wife was a the daughter of John and Abiel born in 1695, not the daughter of John and Suzanna born in 1673.

Charles Edward Whitmore's contribution to the Secretary's Fourth Report, Harvard class of 1907:

SHORTLY after graduation I sailed for Europe spending a year in study at Athens; I then returned to Harvard to work for a Ph.D., receiving that degree in 1911. I was appointed instructor in English in June of that year, a position which I still hold. My earlier inclinations would have led me to teach Greek, but no opening in that field appeared, and I am now more than ever convinced that teaching Freshman composition is by no means the hopeless and thankless task it is so often considered, but a chance to render real and needed service to Harvard and to the community. I am at present completing a book on composition, which I hope to be able to publish within a year.

During the summer of 1914 I was in Italy, and was delayed there by the outbreak of the war, but succeeded in returning without mishap or special incident. Otherwise I have remained in Cambridge, dividing my time between College duties and literary work.
